2026/03/26

(Part 4 – Final Episode of Building Strong Filipino-American Families Rooted in Christ) In this final episode of our March series, Building Strong Filipino-American Families Rooted in Christ, we talk about how to raise children who can stand firm in their faith in a culture that often questions truth.

(Part 3 of Building Strong Filipino-American Families Rooted in Christ) In Part 3 of our March series, Building Strong Filipino-American Families Rooted in Christ, we talk about one of the most powerful ways parents disciple their children—modeling faith at home. Scripture reminds us in James 1:22, “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” Our children are watching how we live out our faith every day. In this episode, we explore how parents can cultivate ...

In Part 2 of our March series, Building Strong Filipino-American Families Rooted in Christ, we talk about a truth every parent must wrestle with: our children’s eternity matters more than their achievements. Many children grow up under pressure to perform—good grades, accomplishments, and success. While hard work and education are important, Scripture reminds us that our greatest responsibility as parents is not to raise successful children, but to raise children who know Jesus. Jesus asked a...

In Episode 4 of our Two Cultures, One Covenant series on the Rise Tayo Podcast, we address one of the most misunderstood—and often debated—topics in marriage: biblical roles, power, and expectations. In intercultural marriages, cultural assumptions about leadership, submission, and gender roles often create tension. Many couples struggle not because they lack love, but because they are navigating unspoken expectations shaped by culture rather than Scripture. In this episode, I stress the im...

In Episode 3 of our Two Cultures, One Covenant series on the Rise Tayo Podcast, we tackle one of the most sensitive—and often unspoken—sources of conflict in intercultural marriages: family, in-laws, loyalty, and boundaries. In many Filipino-American marriages, tension arises not because of a lack of love, but because of different cultural expectations around family. What one culture sees as honor, the other may experience as intrusion. What feels like responsibility to one spouse may feel l...

In Episode 2 of our Two Cultures, One Covenant series on the Rise Tayo Podcast, we address one of the most common—and painful—struggles in intercultural marriages: communication. Why does silence feel safe to one spouse but hurtful to the other? Why does directness feel honest to one spouse but harsh to the other? In Filipino-American marriages, conflict is often not about the issue—it’s about how meaning is communicated across cultures. Anchored in James 1:19 — “Everyone should be quic...

Love may bring two people together, but culture often reveals the gaps. Different communication styles. Different family expectations. Different ways of handling conflict.

2026/01/26

In this episode of Rise Tayo, we have a loving yet eye-opening conversation about faith and culture within the Filipino community. For over 300 years, the Philippines was under Spanish rule and access to Scripture was limited. Only priests were permitted to read the Bible. As a result, many generations learned to practice faith through tradition and rituals. Generational beliefs were passed down without biblical foundation. Drawing from 2 Timothy 3:16–17, Hosea 4:6, Exodus 20:4–5, and 1...

In this deeply moving episode of Rise Tayo, I sit down with my neighbor Mark to talk about identity—both cultural and spiritual—and how God redeems what feels lost. Mark shares his journey as a Filipino American who grew up disconnected from his heritage. His grandfather, who came to the United States from Cavite in 1927 and served in the U.S. Navy, never passed down the Filipino language or culture. Aside from tasting pansit and adobo, Mark grew up not truly knowing where he came from. As a ...

Thanksgiving carries a unique meaning for Filipinos living in America. Yes, there is homesickness… yes, there are challenges… and yes, it’s hard being far from the people and traditions we love. But even in a new land, with new routines and new realities, we can still choose gratitude — because gratitude changes our attitude, our perspective, and our heart.

Have you ever felt caught between two worlds? In this heartfelt episode of Rise Tayo, Coach Blanche DiDomenico speaks to the unspoken struggle of many Filipino Americans who quietly wrestle with identity and belonging. Maybe you’ve thought, “I’m not Filipino enough because I don’t speak Tagalog,” or “I’m not American enough to fit in.” But Blanche reminds us that our true identity isn’t defined by culture — it’s found in Christ. Before we were Filipino or American, we were children of God, ma...

This episode isn’t for the faint of heart. Many believers say they love God, but their hearts chase after fame, people, and possessions. Coach Blanche exposes how modern idolatry hides behind our habits, entertainment, and even relationships. God’s Word is clear: “You shall have no other gods before Me” (Exodus 20:3). And Revelation 21:27 warns, “But nothing unclean will ever enter it… but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.” 💔 It’s time to take inventory. Are you truly
